Sunday Stroll - Creekside

Run with me,

over the patchy snow,

down to the creekside.

We can linger there in the arms of the trees,

listening to the slow melt

of this brief January thaw.

And then,

when we walk in the cedar glade,

let us look closely.

And, more closely still...

We may see that the earth 

is still full of life

beneath the snow and ice.

Wherever you are, whatever the weather, I wish you serenity.

You won't believe who Steve met during his stroll,

Out on the Prairie!
